I've heard the pricing at City-Pharma is quite good which is why it's so well-known, but I noticed that the small Pharmacie T-LeClerc near the Hotel de Seze had really good pricing compared to the pharmacies in the Montmartre area where I ended up shopping. If you are truly pressed for time and can't do price comparisons, then I'd recommend going to City-Pharma which has a large selection and good pricing or the one in the Galeries Lafayette which also has a large selection. But remember there is also a pharmacy located in the airport.
So what did I end up getting?
Due to the way our trip was organized, I wasn't able to do any pharmacy shopping until the Montmartre part of our trip. The first pharmacy I went to right on the Rue de Abbesses was totally overpriced. (The Pharmacie T-LeClerc near the Madeline Plaza had a 2-pack of Bioderma for 16.90 euros; but here the same 2-pack was on sale for 29 euros. eek!) I meandered around and found other pharmacies which were significantly cheaper (but they didn't speak much English but it didn't matter to me since I knew what I wanted).
At the first pharmacy, I got:
- a 2-pack of Bioderma for 19.90 euros, and a mini travel Bioderma. Bioderma is micellar water and is a great 1st step in face cleansing - it's totally gentle and removes makeup!
- a Nuxe lip balm for 9.40 euros (in the U.S. it is about $25 on amazon). Very thick and nourishing balm. I like to use it at night before I go to sleep.
- a 2-pack Vichy deodorant - this was a whim purchase. I normally don't even use deodorant but it was so hot in Paris I thought I'd try it and much to my surprise, I really like it!
- La Roche Posay Tolerane Zerozinc (?) - I've heard about this toner so much but it's not available in the U.S. so I'm going to give it a go!
- La Roche Posay matte sunblock - I usually use Clinique or Shiseido but I've heard great things about these sunblocks.
- Avene spring water face spray - totally unnecessary purchase but so refreshing.
Then at another pharmacy near a gallery called Carre D'Artistes, I picked up a Caudalie face spray and a fig perfume. This was just slightly cheaper than in the U.S. but I've never been willing to shell out the cash for it in the U.S.
I can't wait to try all this stuff! Let me know if there's anything you love from French pharmacies!
